TABLE OF CONTENTS

LIFE JACKET POLICYAt Camp U of T, all children under 6 years of age are required to wear a life jacket while swimming in the pool regardless of their swimming ability. This is a National Lifesaving Society requirement, and no exceptions will be made. Campers wishing to use the deep end will be required to complete a swimming test, which includes swimming 25 metres non-stop and treading water for 1 minute. Campers that cannot complete the swim test or do not wish to use the deep end of the pool can still swim in our shallow end.

SWIMMINGSwimming is an important part of our program and will be offered again this summer. While swimming, campers are supervised at all times by certified lifeguards and by their counsellors. Most camps swim daily. Swimming is a recreational activity at camp and is not swimming instruction. Camp programs with children under 6 years of age will NOT have swimming as part of their daily program.

If your child is a vegetarian or has special dietary considerations, please speak with the camp coordinator prior to the week(s) your child will be at camp. We will do our best to accommodate most restrictions. If you have already outlined the concern on the registration form, that will suffice. In addition, we ask that you also confirm your request / concerns with your child’s counsellor on the first day of camp.
